Majid Amidpour (Persian: مجید عمیدپور) is a professor of Mechanical and Energy engineering at Khajeh Nasir Toosi University of Technology (KNTU).[1] He is also the head of Niroo Research Institute (NRI), Tehran, Iran.[2]

Education

[edit]

Amidpour attended the University of Tehran and received his BSc degree in chemical engineering in 1988. Then he moved to the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) and obtained his MSc degree in Energy and Process Integration engineering in 1994.[3] Finally, in 1997, he received his PhD in energy engineering at the University of Manchester, UK.[4]

Career

[edit]

He is a professor of Mechanical and Energy engineering at Khajeh Nasir Toosi University of Technology (KNTU), Tehran, Iran.[1] He is also the head of the Energy Integration Laboratory at KNTU's Department of Energy Systems Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. Amidpour, on the other hand, has participated in several nationwide Energy and Petroleum industries' projects as a consultant or a managing board member.

Research

[edit]

Amidpour and his research team are working on different aspects of the Energy and Water Integration Systems through using Cogeneration approaches including systems that are utilizing renewable energies. They are also investigating the energy systems' integration with environmental issues (carbon emission trading), agriculture productions (water, energy, and food nexus), and energy materials (clean technologies). They have profited from various analysing methods (e.g. pinch technology, exergy analysis, and constructal theory) to achieve their goals to modify the energy and water consumption patterns in Oil and Gas Industries.[6]

Majid Amidpour has published more than 370 national and international conference and journal articles;[7] his book "Cogeneration and Polygeneration Systems", which was published by Elsevier Science & Technology, adopts exergetic and thermoeconomic analysis and related modeling and simulation tools to inform performance and systems design in modern cogeneration plants.[8] Because of his scientific efforts, his name has been listed among the world's top 1% scientists by Essential Science Indicators (ESI).[3][9]
